Most of the manuals that we currently do are User Manuals and are pretty generic. The minor differences like such as Menu differences and use of the <cmd> key rather than the <ctrl> key on macOS can usually be handled by Notes.I am putting together a a Writer Template with multiple custom styles so that all the documents have consistent structure.If you can find people that are interested that would be great. > Maybe we can meet - on blue button or whatever may be available. OpenOffice does have a slack channel which I can invite people to and it is great for general conversation and bonding among team members; However one of the hallmarks of the "Apache Way" is that decisions get made on the mailing list. The phrase that you hear often is "If it didn't happen on the list it didn't happen" > I can commit 10 hours a week. That is great. Any amount of time that you can contribute is appreciated. the project like the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is an all volunteer effort and people volunteer what time that they can to the Project. > > Also, listen, I didn't say anything before, but there were times people > volunteered, made a small edit and then asked for a reference as a tech > writer.

People come work for a then step back. They may come back they may not, but their time and effort is appreciated. As far as giving a recommendation I would need to check the policy and procedures on how that could be done. > :) > > Let's do this! I believe that we absolutely should it, There are still things that need to be worked out and I would like to have more feedback from this list and also dev@ before moving on to those.
